The new BMW R 1300 GS version has several enhancements and changes that make it more functional, pleasant, and adaptable than its predecessors.

More oomph, more rumble, more excitement

The newly redesigned 1,293 cc boxer engine powers the new BMW R 1300 GS, producing 136 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 143 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm. Power and performance are improved across the board by 11 horsepower and 18 Newton meters compared to the previous model.

The ShiftCam variable valve timing mechanism in the new engine modifies valve opening timings and lifts in response to variations in throttle position and engine speed. Better fuel efficiency, less emissions, and quieter operation are all benefits of this design.

The new engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that features an anti-hopping clutch to keep the rear wheels from locking up on steep descents. The gearbox can be equipped with a quick-shifter, which eliminates the need for the driver to use the clutch when shifting gears.

The new exhaust system on the BMW R 1300 GS is smaller, lighter, and more aerodynamic than the old one. A sound flap in the exhaust system modifies the engine's tone in response to the selected riding style and vehicle speed.

You'll feel more in charge, secure, and assured.

The new BMW R 1300 GS features a completely redesigned chassis that is both lighter and stiffer than its predecessor. The chassis is built on a steel bridge frame, an aluminum swingarm, and a central spring strut for the telelever front suspension. The telelever technology provides great stability and input while reducing dip under braking.

The back end rides on a paralever setup that uses a single swingarm and a shock that can be adjusted electronically. The dampener has four settings: Auto, Road, Dynamic, and Rain. When riding in Auto mode, the damping is adjusted automatically based on the rider's weight and the terrain.

New generation riding aid systems improve safety and comfort on the new BMW R 1300 GS. Among these are:

• Wheel lockup is impossible, even under heavy braking or when navigating tight turns, thanks to ABS Pro. It adjusts the brake pressure in response to the vehicle's lean angle and the road's surface.
• Using information about the vehicle's lean angle, speed, and grip level, a system called dynamic traction control (DTC) can minimize wheel spin and loss of traction.
• The Hill Start Control Pro (HSC Pro) will not let the bike roll back when beginning on an incline. The brake pressure can also be adjusted manually by the rider with the use of a hand or foot lever.
• Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) is a system that optimizes stopping power by cutting throttle and lowering engine torque in response to sudden or heavy braking.
• With the help of an adaptive cornering light, which activates additional LEDs in response to the vehicle's lean angle and cornering speed, drivers can see better around curves.

Improved ease, convenience, and individualization

Regarding extended rides and off-road excursions, the new BMW R 1300 GS has you covered in every way imaginable. The bike now has a new ergonomic seat that can be adjusted in height and tilt. A switch on the handlebars or the TFT screen can activate a heating function for the seat, which is optional.

The windscreen on this bike is redesigned and improved, making it wider, more aerodynamic, and more comfortable to ride. The windscreen's height can be changed manually or automatically with the push of a button on the grip. An optional wind deflector is available for the windscreen to help lessen the wind resistance and wind noise.

The bike's analog gauges have been replaced by a new 10.25-inch TFT screen that displays speed, rpm, fuel level, gear indicator, riding mode, navigation, phone calls, music, and more. The rider can change the display's layout and color scheme to suit their tastes.

The BMW Motorrad Connected app allows you to pair your phone with the display using Bluetooth or a USB cable. The app provides the rider with supplementary resources, such as location-based navigation, weather reports, trip logs, vehicle status updates, and more.

A new multipurpose controller is mounted on the left handlebar, making it simple to adjust the bike's settings, including the display, cruise control, heated grips, heated seat, and more.

The new BMW R 1300 GS features extensive space for individualization and modification. Light White, Racing Blue Metallic, and Black Storm Metallic are the three standard color options for the bike. The bike comes in three different looks: Standard, Pro, and High Performance.

The frame and wheels of the Basic model are silver, while the engine is black. The Pro model stands out with its all-black exterior, engine, and wheels. The HP style variation is characterized by red bodywork, silver mechanicals, and gold rims.

You can upgrade the bike's functionality, comfort, or visual appeal with various optional equipment and accessories. Among these are:

The suspension settings in a vehicle with dynamic ESA are modified mechanically in response to riding mode and load changes.

Without a key, the rider can activate the system and begin their journey.

With Shift Assistant Pro, you can upshift and downshift without using the clutch.

Enduro and Enduro Pro are two new riding modes made available by the Riding Modes Pro system. Off-road riding is best accomplished with the Enduro mode's optimized ABS, DTC, and suspension settings. In Enduro Pro mode, the rider can adjust the ABS, DTC, and suspension for expert off-roading.

The LED Headlight Pro system improves upon the standard LED headlight by including a daytime running light and an automatic headlight adjustment mechanism.

This device utilizes a TFT screen to show the current tire pressure.

This technology helps prevent the bike from being stolen by sounding an alarm and flashing lights.

Extra storage capacity is provided by a luggage system consisting of several bags and cases that may be attached to the bike. There are several types of bags, such as hard cases, soft cases, tank bags, and so on.

Conclusion

The new BMW R 1300 GS is an impressive motorbike that excels in several different areas at once, including power, performance, technology, comfort, and adaptability. This bike is the pinnacle of adventure vehicles, capable of conquering any obstacle. Additionally, it is a bike that can be customized to meet the rider's specific requirements.

The new BMW R 1300 GS will go on sale in the United States in January 2024, with prices beginning at $18,995. Its competitors include adventure motorcycles like the Ducati Multistrada V4, Honda Africa Twin, KTM 1290 Super Adventure, and Triumph Tiger 1200.
